Attacking TRAI for "compromising" the privacy and security of over a million activists supporting net neutrality, Congress today sought a probe against the telecom regulator for "exposing" their names and e-mail IDs by allegedly going public with these details.

"TRAI should be investigated for making one million activists vulnerable to attacks by hackers and online criminals. It's a grave error," Gourav Gogoi (Cong) said in Lok Sabha during the Zero Hour.

Gogoi, who had given notice for adjournment motion on the issue, said net neutrality has been a burning issue and the activists have been agitating against any attempt by big telecom operators to control the cyber space.
